I had issues configuring the desktop the way I wanted on the T5500. I phoned HP
and they gave me this zip file that includes all the settings to customize the
desktop and lock the menus down. Once I do that I run the command
"C:\windows\system32\ewfmgr.exe c: -commit" to save the changes.
Sorry I don't have time to explain more but if you look through the files
you'll find a lot of lock down type settings. I assume this will work on any HP
XPe thin client.

I have to hold my hands up and admit that I'm not entirely sure. All I know is
we created a local user account (called User) not in the administrators group
and when that user logs in to kiosk mode (using autologon) the buttons along
the bottom of the connection manager window have vanished. I don't remember
doing anything special to set it up that way, it just happened. When logged in
as Administrator, all the buttons are present and correct.
I've just created a test user on a nearby terminal. When the username is
flagged as an administrator, the connection manager options are there. When the
administrator tickbox (connection
manager>Advanced>Security>Users>username>modify>permissions) is unticked, the
connection manager is locked down.

How did you force the cut down connection manager for users and not for
admins?
This is where it becomes confusing so far. Seems if I set kiosk,
everyone (including admin) gets kiosk, I hide connection center, it is gone for
everyone.
I want to run it locked down, but need some accessibility for the
admins, of course.
I have altiris, man, that is no picnic to install. I need to find a
SQL server I can install it on.

We're just starting to roll out a couple of hundred T5500s. We have
them setup to autologin as a restricted user, with the option of pressing ESC
to login as the local administrator during the 5 second autologin countdown.
Standard users get the terminal in kiosk mode with only the cut-down connection
manager and a single autostart ICA connection. Administrators get the full
connection manager ,including options to reenable the desktop.
Assuming you've deployed Altiris (the client licenses come with the
terminals so it's a good move), you can reimage, remotely control (including
logging users off and logging on as the administrator), reboot etc from your
desktop.
